Direct Primary Care functions similar to a standard insurance plan but with no insurance company to deal with. No copays, No deductibles or coinsurance premiums. Instead, consumers pay their primary care doctor on a monthly or annual basis for continued assistance. Instead of going to a third party, the payments go directly to the medical practice. This means that more of the patient's money is used for things that are in their best interests.
Direct primary care plans frequently cost less than conventional insurance policies. By giving patients more access to their doctor without having to worry about receiving approval from an insurance company for visits, DPC plans help promote overall health.
